b. 2. Describe How the State Will Incorporate Registered Apprenticeship into Its Strategy and Services.
Current Narrative:
Late in 2015, Idaho was one of six states selected by the US Department of Labor to participate in an apprenticeship initiative providing customized technical assistance support from experienced apprenticeship coaches. The State’s apprenticeship development team, composed of workforce, apprenticeship, education, and other key partners, has been identified and will be taking full advantage of this opportunity in 2016 to support strategies to integrate apprenticeship as a sustainable solution under WIOA.
Initial strategies:
- · Launch a renewed apprenticeship effort concentrating on one high growth occupation/industry; provide a positive model for expansion
- · Pursue a local area focus first, then expand and strengthen to a statewide strategy
- · Lean on USDOL technical assistance and Office of Apprenticeship for guidance, innovation and successful strategies from other states
- · Integrate apprenticeships into Idaho’s career pathways and industry sector strategies
